Yes — Les Feldick teaches that reading Romans, especially chapter 8, could bring visible change to America.
In the transcript, Les says: “If every American would read Romans chapter 8 once a day, we'd see a change in this country just from that one chapter.” He also calls Romans one of the basic books of Scripture for today, and says Paul's epistles teach where we are right now. So the impact would come from Americans consistently reading and understanding the practical truth of Romans.
Romans 8:1 — This verse begins the chapter Les specifically says would change America if read daily.
Romans 1:16 — This verse highlights the gospel's power, which Romans presents and which Les says applies to daily life.
Romans 3:23 — This verse states the universal problem of sin that Romans 3 addresses as the remedy.
Romans 1:16 declares that the gospel is “the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth.” Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 8:1 then offers the good news: “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.” These verses together show the problem of sin, the need for a remedy, and the promise of no condemnation for believers.
Les Feldick teaches that Romans is one of the most basic books in Scripture and that the Holy Spirit deliberately placed it right after Acts because it lays the foundation for salvation teachings. He calls Romans “elementary” but essential, explaining that understanding Genesis 3—man's problem—and Romans 3—the remedy—would win “half the battle.”
Les says the change could come “just from that one chapter.” He points to chapter 8, verse 1, where Paul, after struggling with sin in chapter 7, declares there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. In the transcript, Les says he had shared it with Louise again and calls it “the chapter I said we're studying.” While he doesn't list every verse, his emphasis is on the chapter's practical comfort and power for day-to-day living.
Les explains that Romans was placed right after Acts in the New Testament because it is “so basic in these salvation teachings” and that “all the foundation is laid in this letter.” He says it is where we have to begin in understanding God's “tremendous plan of salvation.” He also describes Romans as “elementary” in the best sense—it is the starting point that leads to deeper doctrines later.
Les says Paul's epistles, including Romans, are “the nitty-gritty of today” and teach “where we are right now, today.” He also says he is seeing increased responses from people commenting on the Book of Romans and that he trusts “the Lord is using even this.” That indicates the impact he expects is real and practical, not merely theoretical.

Genesis 3 and Romans 3
Les says understanding Genesis 3 (man's problem) and Romans 3 (the remedy) gives the battle half over, making Romans foundational and practical.
Romans 1:16: For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
This verse shows the gospel's power, which Romans presents as the answer for salvation and which Les says applies to today.
Romans 3:23: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
This verse states why everyone needs the remedy found in Romans.
Romans 8:1: There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
This is the opening verse of the chapter Les says could change America if read daily.
Les says that if every American read Romans chapter 8 once a day, “we'd see a change in this country just from that one chapter.” He does not spell out a specific political or social outcome in the clip, but connects Romans to practical daily living.
Les says the Holy Spirit placed Romans right after Acts because it is basic in salvation teachings and lays the foundation for understanding God's plan of salvation. He also says Romans is “elementary” in the sense of being a necessary starting point.
